Parents of a young boy who hanged himself sued Ozzy Osbourne for his song, "Suicide Solution," which they said incited the boy to commit suicide. One verse of the song: Wine is fine but whiskey's quicker/ Suicide is slow with liquor /Take a bottle, drown your sorrows /Then it floods away tomorrows.

A California court said the parents could not prevail.The court wrote:"It is simply not acceptable to a free and democratic society to impose a duty upon performing artists to limit and restrict their creativity to avoid the dissemination of ideas in artistic speech which may adversely affect emotionally troubled individuals."
